Laptop keeps disconnecting from the wireless

[JLong11]

We have a laptop that will keep disconnecting from the wireless. We have updated the drivers and ruled out a problem with the wireless itself as we have had multiple devices connected to that same AP.

It will disconnect anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, there was an occasion it disconnected for 4 minutes 59 seconds twice in quick succession.

Hello JLong11,Thank you very much for providing that information. We recommend to install the wireless drivers provided by the manufacturer of the laptop, in this case HP, those drivers were customized by them to work with your specific platform. Not sure if I found the correct model, but if that is the case, please try driver version 20.70.0.5 Rev.P: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-elitebook-830-g5-notebook-pc/18477184/swItemId/ob-215253-1 If the problem persists after that then we can test the Intel® generic wireless driver version 20.90.1: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28267/Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-for-Windows-10?product=94150 Regards, Alberto R.
